Air line from spare tire to top of WW reservoir
Exit from bottom of WW reservoir to column switch on late cars or dash switch on early cars ... from switch to "T" behind the fresh air box and then to the spray nozzles on the cowl. |

If the hoses haven't been used in a while, they're probably rotten.
I've seen that many times. It's not that hard to replace them, this might be a good time to do so. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |

once upon a time, I took my car for a errand...
came out after 20 minutes and the washer fluid was still squirting under pressure from the crack in the hose. Spraying up under the dash and making a huge mess. (spare tire air pressure was not flat yet) my tach was half full of washer fluid and it was sloshing from side to side behind the lense as I drove home. you've got to pull the column open and get to those hoses (tubing really) where they connect to the column mounted switch... a poor design compaired to electric washer pumps. brant |

How do you access that? Do I pull the gauge cluster, ? What size hose is it? Phil |

I had a supply of Nippondenso electric windshield washer kits ... Reservoir with pump mounted on it and tubing to connect to washer nozzles ... all you need was a momentary switch on the dash

Phil You have to pull the steering wheel and the switch assemblies ... there is a two pronged fitting on the back of the switch that the hoses connect to. I'll try to find a pic .......... |

Hwy slits, I got a better look at this today. , had my tank pulled and replaced the air box and got that working., the took a look at the back of the column from under the dash. I see the 2car plastic barbed connectors. One should be an in, the other an out, right? Which is which. I have no hose hooked to either. I k ow where the incoming hose os, it was squirting the floor. But I don't see the hose that should be going out to the squirter. Does anyone have a diagram of hog this all connects? Phil. Attached thumbnail(s)
